Air, the essential element for all living beings. It’s everywhere; in gentle breezes, powerful storms, and even in stillness. It inspires us without being seen, with its gentle touches, ice cold winds, and warming gusts. Even as we breathe.

Airbender is a shawl that represents the different conditions of air and the graceful movements of an airbender.

The first section symbolizes spiraling winds, blowing in dynamic motion. The next section captures the essence of air itself with nupps. While the following section focuses on releasing it with holes, embodying a sense
of lightness and stillness. Finally, the shawl is trimmed with a wavy border, reminiscent of a gentle breeze.
